What Past Guests Are Saying

Lovely traditional home with a view!

My adult daughter and I just returned from our trip and a 4 night stay in this cave house and it was truly a wonderful experience. The house was charming, perfectly appointed with a view of the Caldera that was magnificent. The owner, Marty, was so helpful in all communications and even called after we had arrived to make sure everything was in order. We loved sitting our on the terrace both morning and evening. It was a bit of a walk to the house but not nothing too strenuous and that also ensured that we had some peace and quiet. There is no air conditioning in the house but none is needed as it stayed nice and cool inside even in the heat of the day. Former guests had left very helpful notes and tips as to restaurant recommendations and places to see, along with Marty's notes. I would recommend this cave house to anyone who wishes to experience a traditional home with a view!

Perfect!

Myself and 2 friends just spent four nights in Spiti Martin and it was a great choice! We were looking for an authentic cave house experience without too much hassle, and the the owner is responsive and helpful.

I didn't know much about the island's villages, but Firostefani was a great choice - tons of good restaurants around and easy to get anywhere else but slightly removed from the overcrowding of Fira when cruise ships are docked.

The house itself was wonderful - a lovely and roomy terrace with a ridiculous view. I would certainly recommend and hope to return.

Amazing views at comfy cave house in quaint Firostefani

I stayed at this cave house for a month recently and absolutely loved my time here. Firostefani is a beautiful, quaint and quiet neighborhood within easy walking distance to the main town of Fira and is an easy bus ride to Oia. Nearby cafe and travel agent are fantastic as well. I had as many as four people there at one time and we were very comfortable. The terrace has one of the best views on the island and is perfect for watching the sunset while drinking the great local wine and some amazing Greek food. Great kitchen so you can cook your own food and has washing machine. I felt like I lived here! Would definitely stay again on my next visit. I highly recommend this house for the traditional Santorini cave house experience. Read more
